Window Picture Gallery Viewer Error

When I click a picture icon to look at in bigger view, I get an error message
that states "An Error is preventing the Windows Photo Gallery viewer from
starting." Can some please tell me how to fix this error or to trouble
shoot. I have been having this problem since upgrading to Vista, we assumed
it was because of the video card needed to be upgraded. We have upgraded
everything that is needed to be upgraded for Vista, and still getting this
error. We were actually told from a sales associate at Best Buy that
upgrading the graphics card would correct the problem.

RE: Window Picture Gallery Viewer Error

I did as you instructed and in the command prompt it told me "you must be an
administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility." Im
the only person on my computer, is there something I need to do in order to
be able to use this command?

Type cmd in the Start Search box above the Start Orb. When cmd.exe appears at
the top of the Start Menu, right click on it and select "Run As Administrator".
